Description
ABOUT HALTER At Halter, we’re on a mission to enable farmers and graziers to run the most productive and sustainable operations. Our customers are using Halter to break free from the time-intensive constraints of conventional practices. Imagine watching 500 cattle stand up and walk calmly towards their next break? No quad bikes, no dogs, no fences. Just a group of cattle walking at their own pace. People say it looks like magic. Our customers are revolutionizing grazing with Halter. It's changing lives and transforming an industry. People join Halter to do meaningful work. By joining us you’ll be solving challenging problems within a talented team and a culture built for high performance. Our team out-think, out-work and out-care. We’re committed to delivering real change in the world - this isn’t easy, and in truth, we love that it’s hard. We’re backed to deliver on a mission that matters by Tier 1 investors including Founders Fund https://foundersfund.com, Bessemer Venture Partners https://www.bvp.com/, BOND, https://www.bondcap.com/ DCVC https://www.dcvc.com/, Blackbird https://www.blackbird.vc/, Promus Ventures https://www.promusventures.com/, Rocket Lab’s Peter Beck and Icehouse ventures https://www.icehouseventures.co.nz/?utm_term=icehouse%20ventures&utm_campaign=Brand+Keywords&utm_source=adwords&utm_medium=ppc&hsa_acc=4064636360&hsa_cam=16902737884&hsa_grp=134004309485&hsa_ad=592971340272&hsa_src=g&hsa_tgt=kwd-1082530126230&hsa_kw=icehouse%20ventures&hsa_mt=b&hsa_net=adwords&hsa_ver=3&gclid=Cj0KCQjw2v-gBhC1ARIsAOQdKY0J0DepRVFDmjQlAkJPbZuQnLSA5UVzUzOXYiPxkjX-SeVa513_BhkaAr-MEALw_wcB.

ABOUT THE ROLE We're changing the way the world farms — and with that comes a responsibility to the producers worldwide who trust us with their animals. We're looking for an experienced Electronics Engineer to join our Failure Analysis team and debug failed electronics down to root cause, from both the field and lab testing. Halter collars aren't serviced, aren't repairable, and need to last 6–10 years, anywhere across the globe. Our products are complex, highly integrated electromechanical devices packed with ultra-low power circuitry, RF, solar and battery systems, high-voltage pulse circuits, and dense multi-layer PCBs. To make them last, we need to understand every electronic failure mode in the field and know exactly how to eliminate it. WHAT YOU’LL DO - Personally own the highest-impact and most ambiguous electronic failure modes, driving them to a clear, evidence-based root cause. This is a hands-on role; you'll be very close to the electronics. - Debug and diagnose failed electronics at the sub-system and component level: power generation and conversion, ultra-low power circuits, RF and antenna, battery systems, high-voltage pulse circuits, and the MCUs, SoCs, sensors and interfaces around them. - Use the full bench of EE diagnostic tools (oscilloscopes, DMM, network analyzers, signal generators, LCR meters, current clamps, HV meters, thermal imaging, microscopy and X-ray where relevant) to isolate faults. - Understand the relationships between in-field events and electronic failures, connecting field data and returns to physical failure signatures on the hardware. - Develop and improve the processes, tooling and ways of working that increase diagnostic accuracy and reduce no-fault-founds. - Work closely with hardware, firmware, production and supplier quality teams to investigate failures and drive corrective action into the design. - Mentor and guide more junior engineers, expanding their technical knowledge and their approach to failure analysis. - Support recruitment for building out a brilliant team, rooted in strong process discipline, technical capability and a tenacious curiosity to figure things out. This is a deeply technical, hands-on role
